There has been an increasing demand for art performances.

To shed light on this topic, Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association invites experts on China market to share their experience and insights.

What are the necessary procedures of design and production that need to be completed for printed products? Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association has invited experts to lead an exclusive tour at a printing company and they are ready to answer all the questions from art administrators.

To celebrate Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association’s 30th anniversary and to commemorate the contributions of our Founders and Former Board Members to the development of local arts administration and management profession, the HKAAA 30th Anniversary Dinner will be held on 11 June 2015 (Thu).

For the past 30 years, the HKAAA has been in the vanguard of promoting the arts and cultural sector through advocacy, professional development, communication, networking support and forging collaborations amongst local and overseas arts managers and other stakeholders.

The growth of the Association would not be possible without the invaluable contributions made by staunch supporters of the organization over the years. It would be the HKAAA's honour to celebrate the anniversary with our valued friends and partners in the arts and cultural sector. Your presence at the anniversary dinner would definitely make the evening a memorable one.

The dinner will also mark the close of HKAAA's annual Cultural Leadership Summit. Into its 6th year, this year’s edition, co-presented with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and themed “Raising for our Future: Arts Funding and Philanthropy in Hong Kong”, will be held at Ko Shan Theatre New Wing on 10 and 11 June 2015.

Box office, public funding and private donations/sponsorships represent the 3 financial lifelines to any performing arts organization or artist. Hong Kong, with its own unique course of arts development, has seen its arts industry focused on the first two legs until recent years when the rapid development of the arts and culture is outpacing the increases in public funding and box office revenue. More focus, therefore, has been given to raising private funds by organizations of all sizes from WKCDA to cultural SMEs in order to cater to their own artistic and financial needs and sustain their growths.

Cultural Leadership Summit is HKAAA’s annual major event. With different themes every year, the association pursues excellence and professionalism in the practice of arts administrators. 2015 marks the 30th Anniversary of the HKAAA. With the theme “Raising for our Future: Arts Funding and Philanthropy in Hong Kong”, this year’s Cultural Leadership Summit aims to develop an enterprising culture in which the artistic visions of the organization or individual is placed at the very heart of their business model and ethos in order to attract the highest level of support from private giving and businesses.

The two-day symposium, with talks, workshops, round-table discussions and networking sessions, will focus on developing the skills of individuals and organizations seeking to fundraise from the private sector, individual donors as well as their own boards through knowledge-exchange, resources and thought leadership. To help further understand the issues and identify the way forward for arts practitioners operating within Hong Kong’s unique environment, the Summit will bring together some of the best minds in the practice of fundraising for the arts and culture from the city and overseas. The Funders / Collaborators Platform is a new initiative this year to connect arts groups and potential funders and collaborators.

The Summit will benefit CEOs, trustees of arts organizations big and small, as well as anyone who is tasked with raising funds for the future of their arts.

Concurrent Event: HKAAA 30th Anniversary Dinner
2015 marks the 30th anniversary of HKAAA.
